NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Children gathered at Christ the King Catholic School and Church in Belmont, and cheered as the new Pope was announced. The excitement was accompanied by questions and a need to know more about him. Older students preparing for confirmation say they had fun following the Papal election process, but now it's time to learn what it all means.
"I think it means we may have to study a little bit more to know more about the leader of our church," says Christ the King student Patrick Beacom. "I don't think it'll change anything."
"You're becoming fully Catholic and we have a new Pope," says Christ the King student Reilly Cooper. "So we'll have to do research to learn about him."

Tennessee recoups unemployment benefits
May 22, 2013 20:26 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- State Labor Department officials say they have recouped about $15.3 million worth of fraudulently collected unemployment benefits by garnishing tax refunds and other federal payments to people who were not entitled to receive the assistance.
A scathing audit released earlier this year showed that the state overpaid $73 million in unemployment benefits. The overpayments were the result of both fraud and errors at the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The audit was especially critical of the department's method for recouping fraudulent benefits.
Acting Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips said in a statement that the ability to reclaim fraudulently collected unemployment benefits is critical to the business community. He said the department is focused on developing strategies to prevent people from wrongfully collecting the assistance.
